A number of organizations in the City have secured funding for projects, thanks to Our Foundation Thompson.

 

The organization held their Annual General Meeting this week, during which time they awarded grants.

 

The TRCC was one of these recipients. They are to be awarded $10,000 towards the Wall of Fame project. Other groups to receive funding include the Norman Northstars who will be using it towards off-ice training equipment, and Rotary Park for their new shade structure.

 

The organization also  launched a new fundraising campaign.

 

In response to challenges by The Thomas Sill Foundation and The Winnipeg Foundation, the organization has set a fundraising campaign of $50,000 over the next year.

 

The Thomas Sill Foundation is offering to match donations at a rate of 1:2 to a maximum of $25,000. The Winnipeg Foundation will match $1 for every $5, up to $2,000.

 

If Our Foundation Thompson meets their target, a total of $77,000 would be added to the local endowment fund.

 

Since 1995, Our Foundation Thompson puts donations into a savings account, and uses the revenue to grant projects in the City.
